The Dark Place: Hell on Earth, #1

By Michael Bray

HELL HAS COME TO CHESTNUT AVENUE.
 

When a mysterious sinkhole opens in the middle of Maple Street, nobody could imagine what was to come. 

 

Eight-year-old Adam Pettinger knows why the hole is there, and what lives within its black depths. 

Embry is a dying man. With his cancer terminal, he no longer has any desire to live and is goading death into taking him from a world he has grown to hate. 

Now, these two unlikely companions will learn that they are connected in ways they could never imagine and that they are the only ones who can possibly stop the unholy evil which is about to climb out of the sinkhole with deadly repercussions for all of mankind.
